CLOVER – The Clover Blue Eagles only wanted one thing for the 2013 homecoming – the first football win in 26 tries. They got it. Clover was dominant in its 42-21 win.
The Blue Eagles (1-7, 1-3) put the pedal to the floor and didn’t let up. Clover, from the wing T formation, rolled up 304 yards on the ground and added another 138 through the air. Clover’s first win in three years came at the expense of Lancaster’s fifth straight loss.

Two yards may as well be 100 for a team in the midst of a scoring drought.
That notion rang as clear as the Cheraw sideline bell on Friday night when Buford High School fell to the Braves, 19-0, in region play.
After time expired, the only thing Yellow Jackets football coach Mike Wells could do was stare at the same field shaking his head in the same fashion as BHS senior Troy Cunningham.
Chances were there, but Buford just couldn’t finish.

PAGELAND – The Indian Land Warriors took to the road Friday night hoping to notch their first road win of the year and also their first region win as well. That road however, led to Central High School of Pageland, where the Eagles once again are in the midst of yet another stellar season, defeating IL, 38-7.
History also was not on the side of the Warriors. Entering the game, Indian Land was 0-7 in the last seven meetings with Central, giving up an average of 38 points per contest.
